The Horse Gin

Families and groups of six will find The Horse Gin works well as a complete retreat. The property is a Grade II listed barn that was substantially restored in 2023, now functioning as a self-contained holiday home on a single ground floor. Three bedrooms include a kingsize with ensuite shower, a second kingsize, and a twin room; there is also a family bathroom with bath and shower. The open-plan living space centres on a wood burner and connects through French doors to gardens and a private hot tub with outdoor shower for rinsing off. Underfloor heating, an equipped kitchen with gas cooking, and a utility room with washer and dryer are all provided, along with Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels, and initial fuel for the burner.

The property sits on the semi-rural edge of Blagdon, between Totnes and Paignton, with parking for two cars and a front patio for outdoor dining. You approach via a 15-step descent and woodland walkway, arriving at a peaceful setting overlooking neighbouring fields. A highchair is available for younger guests. The no-smoking policy applies throughout.
